Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Basic introduction
Review: I'm a software developer, and have more than an avocational interest in probability. I wanted to get into the discipline proper and try to learn about probability as if I were a student in college again. This book reads like wading through waist deep bubble gum. I had to read the first couple pages about 10 times before I really understood what was going on. This book may be a good "Introduction" if you've already got a degree in math or statistics, but if you want to learn about probability from the ground up, start somewhere else.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hardly an introduction....

Summary: This is a great book with real life examples.
Review: I've never seen a probability book with such good examples. Most books on probability give you all of the equations, but they don't really tell you how to apply them to real situations. This book has nothing but real examples. It is the book on probability that I have been looking for

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Basic introduction
Review: Nice examples, a bit basic for my needs.

The target audience of this book would be 1st year undergradate students. Mathematically very simple, but everything is explained well.
